Anyone have a good guess at how many Celestial Pearl Danios I could fit in my 12g long? I've been thinking of getting around 15 or so, keep in mind I will have a variety of small shrimp in there with them i.e. blue velvets, red cherrys and yellow's.

I had 12+ in mines once. Good filtration and they should be okay because they don't get overly large that's the plus about them.

I have 18 cpds in my 12 long with 4 Ottos and no shrinp (yet) they've been happy and healthy for a few months now but I do think I'm pushing the overstocked line. I do have quite a bit of filtration and never miss a weekly water change though.

Finally got my Mr Aqua scaped and flooded. After taking this picture, I made the sandbar divider more of a triangle to give a feel of a vanishing point. I used water and filter media from my 29 gallon to do an instant cycle. Went with the Planted + light. So far I'm pretty happy with it. Now to be patient and wait for the plants to grow.

Just picked one up yesterday and can't wait to start playing with hardscape placement tonight/ this weekend. Such an elegant looking tank. Anyone using pendant style lights for these tanks? Was thinking Kesil but I am worried the shallow dimensions would mean to much light. Also, how efficient is co2 in such a shallow tank?
